Item 3. Bankruptcy or Receivership
On October 6, 1997, the Registrant filed a voluntary petition for
protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws in the United States
Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division pursuant to
which the Registrant's existing directors will continue in possession but
subject to the supervision and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
The Company plans to liquidate assets and review the claims of its various
creditors. It is unclear at this time whether there will be any funds available
for distribution to shareholders. Once this information has been determined, the
Company may file a Plan of Reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court.
